AUGUSTA, Ga. — Scottie Scheffler, a rising star on the PGA Tour, now has a green jacket to go with his No. 1 ranking. Scheffler, 25, won the Masters Tournament on Sunday by three strokes, claiming his first major championship with a steady, poised final round that took advantage of the three-stroke lead he held after three rounds of the tournament.
Scheffler, a New Jersey native who was raised in Texas, has won four of his last six events this year. In February, he won the Waste Management Phoenix Open. A few weeks later, he finished first at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and, late last month, he won the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play event.
